of his pen, restored $4,000, 900 acres Of the
public domain to the people cannot now
be told, or how many settlers were saved
from the suferings inflicted upon the
pioneers of Iowa cannot easily be esti-
mated. It is these land monopolies that
breed Henry Georges. The tax upon
land as proposed by the New York re-
former is q radical wrong, but one less
injurious in the abstract than the case
above quoted. Extremes on one side
create extremes on the other, and the
only way to neutrslize the effects o. both
is to pursue middle course. This the
Democratic party has promised to do and
is doing, and this it must con-
tinue to do il it expects to continue
dominant. People will tolerate great
deal Of oppression. but there is limit to
their endurance which it is dangerous to
transcend. The policy of turning over
our lands to foreign landlords and reduc-
ing our people to the condition Of seTfs
has been condemned time snd again by
the Wisest and best statesmen Of all par
ties. The land Of 8 country does and
should belong to the people of that coun-
try. To give the title and the profits to
foreign holders is economic suicide.

THE KNIGHTS OFLABOR.

The rumors concerning the opposition
OF the radical element Of the Knights of
Labor to the conservative course pursued
by General Mesterworkman PoWderly,
which have been so rife for the past six
months, seem to have been unfounded.
That there is opposition to the old chief
in some instances and in certain localities
is only natural and to be expected.
His attitude towards the anarch-
lists and the pronounced manner
in which he has invariably opposed any
resort to force or violation to the laws
of the country to obtain an end, has
brought down upon his head the loud
mouthed denunciations of the extremists.
The fierce onslaught made by the ansrch-
lists upon Mr.. Powderly has been inter-
preted to mean that the opposition to
him was general by certain class Of
place hunters who are always ready to
rise on the downfall OF another,
and are never able to secure
promotion on their own merits. They
out-Herod Herod while in the ranks, but
make very poor officers when elected.
Mr.. .oowderly has been at the head of
this large, unweildy organization for a
number OF years, and his prominence to-
day is tribute to his good sense. Very
few leaders of the popular bodies can
bosst of as long leadership. The wise,
the able and the honest, will rise
to the surface at the outset,
but ere long jealousy will find an
abiding place in the hearts Of
Whilom supporters-the scramble for
place and prominence and for the emolu-
ments of Office will begin and the same
hands that placed the leader on the ped
estal win be the first TO tear him down.
The history of 81 social or economic or
carnations is marked and msrred by
strife OF this character. The heartburning,
the intrigue and the cordial Ill will which
exists In the more respectable confedera-
tions is concealed and CLOSED over
by superior tact and conventional cour-
tesY, while in the lower stratum it is
made manifest often by overt acts. but
oftener by violent language and derunci-
atory resolutions. Thus, the feelings

THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS
resumed business ct 1880 O'Clock Pc
titions from locals 1924, STA, 1892 and
BIOS asking to be represented by C.. J.
Driscoll of Denver, Col. were received.
The local assemblies named were st.
tsched to district assembly and not
entitled 10 representation except through
the district assembly. The petition was
refused. These local assemblies are in
the district assembly that
protested against J. R. Bu-
chanan. The credentials presented By
Mrs. Marion Todd of Michigan were
positively refused and that lady had to
follow in the wake Of Buchanan. Chase
of District Assembly I26 of New York,
Master Workman John Morrison, next
came up on motion to re-instate the Dis
tr1ct Assembly. The motion to re-instste
was ruled out of order by Mr.. Powderly.
The roll call showed 225 delegates
present.
The routine business of the conven-
tion is progressing so fevOrsbly that Mr..
Powderly's address will be given this
evening without doubt.
The following telegram was sent TO the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
now in session at Terre Haute, Ind:

Dor now assembled, return hearty greet

which might be entertained for a Gould
Tor Vanderbilt by co-workers on the
summit OF national affairs. are wisely and
graciously concealed, while the opposi-
ton to Powderly by his jealous and more
plain-spoken brethren takes the form OF
open charges of corruption, OF dis
honesty, inccmpetency and every
other sin in the category.
The unthinkiDg, and unreasonable be-
cause unthinking, element that is the
first to rally around the standard OF sup
posed reform is the first 10 become dis
heartened. Having INDUCED irrstionally
in impossible expectations, dissppoint-
ment and dependency follows, and the
leaders are blamed and condemned,
whether they be responsible or not. In
tutored minds can see no sense IN, or ne
cessitY of delay. If a movement promises
benefit, that benefit should come now.
Conditions which are the growth OF cen
turies, and which have their roots firmly
imbedded in the weakness and wicked
ness OF our natures, until they have be-
come part of ourselves, are expected to
be remedied and turned to virtues in an
instant. There are many sensible, well
read men in the Knights of Labor and
there are others who seek promotion
whose only stock in trade ia mere pre-
tense. The demagogue whose fatulent
specifically is passed for sense and
whose stentorian rawlings are current as
wisdom and sincerity, beguile the unedu-
Gated into believing tha5 noise and rant
is eloquence. All these things leader,
such as Mr.. Powderly, must contend
against, and if he is set aside this time no
one will be surprised. The only source
of establishment is that he WAS not long
ago dethroned.

STILL PATRIOUC.

So far as can be gathered from the re-
ports sent out to the press Of the country,
President Cleveland's tour has been most
agreeable. In every city where 8 halt
was made nothing was left undone by the
citizens to honor the "head Of the ma
tion," and all along the line of travel evil
dences were not wanting to show the
esteem in which the people hold their
chief. It may be said that much Of this
is due to Mr.. CleVelsnd's personal pcpu-
lsrity. That he is popular there can be
no doubt, and that he has served his
country wisely and well no one will deny,
but candid observer must confess that
the respect shown the President
springs from 8 higher cause than mere
personal feeling. It is the voice Of
national pride and patriotism giving vent
to its loyalty to and reverence for the in
situations of the country. President
Cleveland is the representative head of s
nation which prides itself On being the
| 'sbest country on earth" Political differ
ences and party struggles arise-it would
be q sorry country if they did not-un-
generous Civilizations are INDUCED in by
the victorious and gloomy forebodings by
the defeated, but these things are all
sound and fury, signifying nothing. The
President of the United States, be he Re-
publican or Democrat, Is honored by
ell the people regardless OF poll
tics. People who are most lib
ersl with their criticisms and who,
during campaigns, are the fercest, most
bitter and uncompromising antagonists,
are the first to join in demonstrations
and parades. There never was Presi-
dent against whom more vindictive cen
sure wss hurled than o. S. Grant, yet
when he visited Texas, after his term OF
Office had expired, he was received and
honored by all citizens in manner which
was at once gratifying to him, and credi-
table to American manhood. Some OF the
Chicago papers petulantly snsrled that
President Cleveland's visit to that
and other cities was tan eIectioreering
tour" but these same editors were the
first to join in the procession to honor
him. Party fealty compelled them
to adopt course of question
able propriety, or Of absolute
iIl-breeding, in the management Of their
papers, but personal loyalty and self-re-
spect caused them to belle their published
words by manly deeds. There will be
differences and contests in the future as
in the past. Party feeling and sectional
hate may again be around, but the love Of
country and respect for her institutions
will not soon be diminished. Patriotism
in this centennial year is just as strong,
just as ardent and just as exalted as it
Wss when the constitution was first
adopted, and, if need be, sacrifices as
great would be made by our people as at
any time in the countgy's history. The
politician may rage and imagine vain
things; the people stand unmoved.

THE Corsicana Journal says: "tne
papers are filed With praise notices o.
Mr., and Mrs. ClevelaDd's trip west and
south. The cost of trip is $4,000 and
the cost of train in which they rode $780,
600. All of this comes out o. Uncle
Sans treasury and yet many poor man
is worsbiping Cleveland more than he is
his God" The fact that Cleveland pays
bis own travelling expenses snd that not
one cent Of it comes cut Of Uncle Sans
treasury does not mar the symmetry OF
the otherwise unique misstatement.
